hey all,

got a problem with my powersteering not working (or not working properly?)

recently stuffed my engine in my cefiro, and have replaced with a 32 motor (but using a31 sensors etc)

now since ive got it running, the powersteering hasnt worked, we have replaced the pump and bled the system, and it still doesnt work, however at full lock you can hear the pump straining the engine, so assuming thats working.

now before i removed the old engine, on a cold start, the powersteering wouldnt work for a few seconds before suddenly working out of nowhere, but now with the new engine it doesnt work all.

the car doesnt run a hicas rear end, but it looks like it has a hicas solenoid bolted in the engine bay near the inlet plenum.

another thing i thought of, is that i was previously running a RB20 PFC, but am now running a stock C33 computer. but wouldnt think that would have anything to do with it.

just wondering if anyone has experienced the same problems and fixed them, or someone knows the answer it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Phil

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
